Fuzzy Image Processing

The use of fuzzy logic for image processing has led to the development of a wide range of techniques casting in the area of Fuzzy image processing. Fuzzy image processing consists of all those approaches that understand, represent, and process an image, its segments and/or its features as fuzzy sets. This chapter covers some basic concepts of fuzzy image processing, namely image fuzzification, image defuzzification and fuzziness measures. The chapter shows also that an image can be considered as an array of fuzzy sets having a membership function that denotes the degree of some image properties satisfied by the image pixels.
